Developing and Using Global-Minded Human Resources

Development and utilization of diverse human resources is Yokogawa's strength and a requirement for global expansion of its business. Yokogawa has set up its organization to enable decision-making with a global perspective, by placing human resources from diverse ethnicities and nationalities in strategic positions.

In addition, Yokogawa makes it clear across the entire Group, its compliance to the international standards of human rights, its awareness regarding regional/cultural differences among the employees' execution of tasks, and its policy against any discrimination based on ethnicity, nationality, sex, or disability. These notions are clearly laid out in the compliance guideline.

By forming a team of diverse human resources and promoting good communication, each employee is given an opportunity to learn new ways of thinking. It is in this type of environment that new solutions and innovations are birthed.

Here are comments on Yokogawa's approach to diversity from some of the members working in its headquarters.
